LA

After I rant against bad movie theater behavior and share stories from my latest television acting gig, I interview stand up comedian and friend Mike Kolar about the time we did comedy in a Cleveland hookah bar, our misadventures in German Class, and why you can’t go home again.

In the second half of my interview with writer, director, and comic book fanatic Alex Dandino, we discuss Sexism in Comic Books, when Batman just sounds wrong, the failings of the Iron Man sequels, exactly how British IS Chris Nolan, the story of the unmade Dune movie, and I share a gay thought.

I dispense my best acting advice and then talk to my dear friend Connor White of Story Pirates about his current sketch comedy show Lost Moon Radio, how Hollywood is like the US Government, Shia LaBeouf and his fraudulent performance art, Sea World of Ohio, the SECRET Northwestern Library, documentary Room 237, disposable child actors, the inevitability of selling out, losing agency to agencies, and of course, fictional drug use.

Author Jessie Cluess and I discuss the semantics of selling out, how to get a lit agent, celebrity ghost writers, the return of Rifftrax, outdoor music festivals, why Patch Adams sucks, a weak defense of the Green Lantern movie, and the now defunct Porn at Tech.

In the third episode of Shamefest LA, I talk to my buddy Max Kleinman about paid extra work, Adele Dazeem, semi-zombies, professional name changes and velociraptors. Check out the full episode by clicking on this link. (Right click to download the file.)
